Bristol City striker Abraham reveals Terry help ahead of Burnley clash

Bristol City striker Tammy Abraham has revealed Chelsea captain John Terry has helped him prepare for their FA Cup tie with Burnley.

Abraham, 19 and on a season's loan from Chelsea, revealed Blues skipper Terry has been acting as his mentor.

The England Under-21 ace, with 18 goals in 33 games to his name this season, said: “John Terry is a massive role model to so many youngsters and, obviously, he loves the academy.

“He's always interacting with it and always talking to me as well.

“I think that's what I need really, because he'll send me a message saying 'Get yourself back on the score sheet' or even if you're not scoring, to work on your overall game and give 100 per cent every time you're out there.

“It gives me confidence to know that he is there to support you."
